"Level Cap" and " of " are 2 different concepts. In all core series games, the Level Cap is always Lv. 100, which will also be reached on PBB once its main storyline is complete. The reason why Level Cap is currently Lv. 80 instead is because the Developers do not wish to let players excessively train their Pokémon to easily destroy the Gyms.

As for "Outsider Pokémon Obedience", it is a system to restrict players from trading in very powerful Pokémon to steamroll the game. Each Gym Badge raises that by 10 levels, until the final Badge which allows ALL Pokémon to obey you without question. This does NOT apply to your own Pokémon. All Pokémon with you as the Original Trainer will obey you no matter what levels they are. Only Pokémon traded-in will be affected.

In your case, the level limit of Outsider Pokémon Obedience should be Lv. 60 because you only have Soaring Badge right now. If you are the Original Trainer of your M-Sceptile, it obeys you no matter what. But if you are not its Original Trainer, it should probably ignore your commands at this stage.
